The Vacuum Cleaner

The idea for the Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner was first conceived by Axel Wenner-Gren more than 90 years ago, as he was window shopping in Vienna Austria. The vacuum cleaner in one window inspired his belief that the machines should be modified to be small enough and affordable enough for every homeowner to own one. After consulting with Electrolux, he was able to convince the company to purchase the patent for an already existing vacuum cleaner model, and to allow him to sell the units in exchange for stock in their company. He was so successful in selling the Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner that he eventually accumulated enough stock to become the company's owner in the early 1930s. His activities with Electrolux throughout the early 1900s resulted in the Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner and Electrolux Vacuum Parts becoming best sellers in Europe.

With Wenner-Gren's system of home demonstrations, the Electrolux Vacuum soon grew in popularity and market reach, and has now become one of the most recognized vacuum cleaners in the world, with dozens of Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner models available to consumers and businesses alike. The Electrolux Vacuum and Electrolux Vacuum Parts have a solid reputation for quality engineering and the company is renowned for their customer service. One Electrolux Vacuum, the Trilobite, is notable as the first automatic vacuum cleaner.

The most popular Electrolux Vacuum models include the Aptitude, Oxy3 Ultra Canister, and the EL 7055A Twin Clean units. The Electrolux Vacuum is suited for hardwood and carpeted floors, and come with an assortment of Electrolux Vacuum Parts and attachments that make every cleaning job easier. Most of the Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner models are moderately priced, placing them within the budgets of most families. The Pronto Stick Electrolux Vacuum doubles as a handheld unit as well, with the ability to plug the handheld unit directly into the main Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner to enable convenient and quick minor cleaning. It is considered by many to be one of the best all-in-one vacuum cleaners on the market today.

The Electrolux line receives good reviews for both its cleaners and the Electrolux Vacuum Parts that are used for regular maintenance. Their high level of quality engineering ensures that each Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner has a long service life. The complaints that some users have made about Electrolux Vacuums generally concern aspects of the cleaners that can vary from user to user; i.e., the length of cords and hoses, suction power for certain jobs, and so on. Nevertheless, both the cleaners and Electrolux Vacuum Parts continue to be popular with the overwhelming majority of their users.

In short, Electrolux has been selling vacuum cleaners for nearly a century for one reason: their attention to quality engineering. Wenner-Gren's original vision of a vacuum cleaner in every home has been realized in most of the developed world, and Electrolux has played a key role in ensuring that vision's success. With vacuum cleaners designed to meet every residential and commercial need, Electrolux Vacuum Cleaners and Electrolux Vacuum Parts are sure to continue their innovative design success for the foreseeable future.
